About This Event

The Stanza Stones Winter Edition presents a formidable 24-hour endurance challenge, spanning a demanding 51-mile linear course that will test participants' mettle with an impressive 6600 feet of ascent. The journey commences in the picturesque village of Marsden, West Yorkshire, culminating in the elegant spa town of Ilkley. The route is thoughtfully designed to weave through the Stanza Stones, a collection of six unique sculptures each adorned with verses from a poem by the renowned Simon Armitage. These artworks are intrinsically linked by the pervasive theme of water, adding a contemplative layer to the physical exertion. The event base, where participants will gather and find respite, is located at Curly Hill Scout Camp in Bradford. Comprehensive information regarding the event, including detailed pricing structures, can be readily accessed on the official event website.
